Chapter 244 The Alps

After everyone was cheering for a while, Shandong Man Liu turned his head out the window, as if a New University 6 appeared. He suddenly pointed to a mountain far away from the highway and asked in surprise to the tour guide Xiao Luo:

"Little Luo, what kind of mountain is that far away? It is tall and large, continuous, at least a few hundred kilometers, right? Look at the foot of the mountain, there are clear lakes! The mountainside is a lush forest; the peak of the mountain is covered with snow! Three levels, three colors, and three ecology! This is simply the most natural and beautiful natural scenery in the world!"

"Mr. Liu, you are right! That mountain is the world-famous Alps!"

After hearing Mr. Liu's inquiry, the tour guide Luo simply picked up the microphone and introduced it to everyone:

"The Alps are located in the south-central part of Europe. It covers northern Italy and southeastern France, while covering the entire territory of Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Slovenia, and southern Germany."

"Oh, I said, how could it be so beautiful! So, this is the long-awaited Alps! Uh, Ronaldo, since it is the Alps, can you introduce it to us?"

"sure!"

The tour guide smiled happily and said:

"Just just now, everyone had just finished eating the chocolate bought by Zhang Mei's 'woman'. While everyone's mouths were sweet, I'll introduce the Alps in detail to you!

The Alps extend south from Atlas in North Africa, through southern Europe and South Asia, and all the way to the Himalayas; at the same time, it extends from the subtropical Mediterranean coast, from near Nice in France, to Lake Geneva; then it extends northeast to Vienna on the Danube.

In fact, it is the largest mountain glacier center in Europe!

In the Alps, it is covered with an ice cap of up to 1 km thick!

All types of glacial landforms in the world are well-educated here. The ice-eroded landforms are particularly typical!

There are more than 1,200 modern glaciers throughout the Alps, with a total area of ​​about 4,000 square kilometers.

The Alps are the main source of water, irrigation and hydropower for Europeans.

Although the total area of ​​the Alps accounts for only 11% of Europe's largest area, it provides more than 90% of Europe's water sources;

In the river basin of the Alps, there are more than 500 hydropower plants with electricity reaching more than 29oo kilowatts!”

"Oh, I really didn't expect that the Alps are so important to Europe? Can it be said that without the Alps, there would be no Europe?"

After hearing the tour guide that the Alps provided more than 90% of the water source for Europe, General Liu, a great man from Shandong, couldn't help but "insert" again.

"Yes, Mr. Liu, you are very good at summarizing questions!"

The tour guide Luo nodded to President Liu in agreement and said:

"You are completely correct. Without the Alps, there would be no prosperity in Europe!

Therefore, many Europeans affectionately call the Alps the Mother Mountain of Europe.

Now, I will introduce to you the geographical location of the Alps.

The Alps are located between temperate and subtropical:

Its vegetation has obvious vertical variations and can be divided into three climate zones: subtropical evergreen hard leaf forest belt, forest belt, and alpine meadow belt.

Above the alpine meadow belt, there are mostly "naked" rocks and snow-covered peaks all year round.

The Alps scenery is so beautiful that it is the most famous scenic spot and tourist destination in the world!

At the same time, it is also called the palace of nature and the real landform exhibition hall by the world.

Under the influence of Alpine glaciers, countless lakes of all sizes have been formed around this "scary" mountain range.

The largest lake is called "Lake Leman"; in addition, the larger lakes include "Si Forest State Lake", "Lake Zurich", "Lake Constance", "Lake Maggiore" and "Lake Como".

In fact, everyone here has long known that the Alps are also a holy place for world ice and snow sports, and a paradise for explorers.

The mountain glaciers here present a polar scenery and are a destination for mountaineering, skiing and tourism.

In our China, there is a famous saying called "Excellent people and powerful people"!

In the Alps, China's famous saying can be changed to "Great land and human spirit".

Why do you say so?

Because, on this beautiful land, great composers Mozart, Beethoven, John Strauss, John Strauss Jr., and Haydn, Schubert and other world celebrities were born one after another.

Of course, great men from the world that have been remembered forever have also been born here! Such as Marx, Engels, etc..”

"Hey, wait! Ronaldo, what did you say just now? Did Marx and Engels be born here?"

When the tour guide Luo Luo talked about Marx and Engels, General Liu, the Shandong man, was very surprised and asked.

"Yes! Marx and Engels are both Europeans and Germans. It can be said that their ancestors have grown up drinking the water of the Alps! The immortal Marxist theory they founded was watered with the water of the Alps!"

"Oh, Xiao Luo, I didn't expect that you are familiar with Western Europe's humanities, geography, world great men, and social customs in Western Europe. You are familiar with everything and are well-versed in everything! No matter what aspect you talk about, you can express it in a thorough manner and be familiar with it. It's so admirable!"

When Mr. Liu, a great man from Shandong, heard the tour guide introduce the situation in the Alps, he knew it as if he didn't even burp in the middle; especially when talking about Marx and Engels, he also showed a kind of sincere admiration and praise! He couldn't help but praise the tour guide from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, thank you Mr. Liu for your praise. I'm also called 'beating the gong and selling candy, cook each one'?"

When Luo heard that Mr. Liu was praising him, he smiled at him naturally and said:

"Since I have eaten the tour guide's bowl, I must be familiar with the tour guide's knowledge, familiar with the various countries, the humanities and geography of various places, and the main characteristics of various attractions. Otherwise, you will have to fire my squid!"

"Uh, no, it's impossible, we can't fire your squid! And, I believe no one will fire your squid! Didn't I make an appointment with you long ago? After you graduate from graduate school, I will go to my company immediately! I want to welcome you with an eight-horse sedan chair! Moreover, I have to raise the company's big door one meter in advance!"

Mr. Liu also responded to the tour guide Xiao Luo with a joke, and took the opportunity to mention the agreement to ask the tour guide to work in his company after graduation.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your favor! If you are destined to be a good person, I will definitely go to your company to find a job! At that time, don't say you don't know me!"

Luo continued to "kiss" with a joke and answered Mr. Liu's warm appointment.

"It's okay, Luo Xiao, if Mr. Liu says he doesn't know you, you can go to my company right away!"

After hearing the joke between Luo and Mr. Liu, a fellow villager named Li of President Liu immediately "inserted" in and joined in the fun.

"What, did Mr. Li also open a company?"

After hearing what Mr. Liu said, Luo immediately turned around and asked him.

"Not only did he open a company, I also opened a company! Don't think that only Mr. Liu opened a company. In this car, maybe many people opened a company! What is this called? This is called "real people don't show off"!"

At this moment, Mr. Liu's other fellow villager, Xiao Zhang, also "inserted" in and joked:

"After you graduate, as long as Mr. Liu doesn't recognize you, I will be the first to invite you!"

"Yes, if Mr. Liu doesn't know you, some companies in China will hire you!"

As the tour guide joked with several Shandong men, several other fellow travelers in the car also joked.

After laughing and laughing for a while, everyone's interest in talking gradually faded.

As the car was shaking rhythmically and swaying, the members of the Golden Autumn Group began to doze off again.
